GoJavas is strengthening its top leadership team, as the Gurgaon based e-commercelogistics company, which was earlier part of online marketplace Jabong, looks to expand and is evaluating new markets including Africa.

The two-year old company is set to fill leadership positions in new verticals and is likely to appoint Vikas Jain, former vice president at Max Life Insurance as head of the finance division and Shravni Jain as head of strategic initiatives, people privy to the plans said.

In the past two months, the company has brought in Shobhit Jain, former senior principal-strategy at Accenture to head the express delivery business and Aniruddha Mahajan, who was previously with Bharti Retail to head human resources.

"In a month or two we will have on-board someone to head the fulfilment and warehousing division as well as one for customer support. There are two new verticals which will be announced by GoJavas and we are looking for suitable profiles to fill these posts as well," said chief operating officer Vijay Ghadge.

The company is creating new verticals in view of growth in demand for logistics and supply chain management from e-commerce companies. "We are clocking a growth of 8-10% every month.The growth is fuelled by demand from current clients, increase in the market share of current clients and an increase in our wallet share for their supply chain," said Ghadge.
